I find it VERY interesting that all of you--mostly--are all blithely ignoring the KF7-ness of K4iPad, K4Cloud, KDroid, etc. It's all well and good if you can ignore these things, but in my capacity with my peeps, I know just how many of them get KQN's about Book X or Y, just because THEY thought it was perfectly okay to ignore those dolts who are too stupid to trade in their K2's for something fancier.

And yes: I do think it's worth the effort. Is it extra time and effort? Yes. Will it bankrupt me to do it? No, so I do it. I never want a client to get a bad review because that reader didn't like the book on their K2. Or, for that matter, MY K2, which yes, I still have and still read on. Although I admit I prefer my Voyage or KW.

You guys don't see the vast arrays of KQN's out there. Superstar author gets one for two typos in a quarter-million word book. Another gets one because her "TOC" is entitled "Cast of Characters," instead of TOC, and some snotty reader reports her to Amazon--and, pay attention--the bloody book is TAKEN OFF SALE, because of it. Her book was a series of character vignettes, not sequential fiction, so she thought it would be cute to call her TOC "Cast of Characters."

I had to send a pretty terse email to Amazon about it to get the book put BACK on sale.

You guys are not realizing just how much hurt some doofus with a K2 can put on someone, just to be nasty, or superior. And I don't say that they're a doofus because they have a K2; I say it because I see this "helpful reporting" all the time. Regardless of the device it's read upon.

Just sayin'.
